DingusPPC is an experimental open-source PowerPC systems emulator with limited support for some Macs.
Overview
editDingusPPC is similar to PearPC, Sheepshaver, and QEMU in that it attempts to emulate PowerPC Macs. Unlike PearPC and Sheepshaver, which took shortcuts to achieve good performance on now lower-end hardware, DingusPPC uses the approach that QEMU does in emulating systems accurately. In addition, DingusPPC is intended to provide a better debugging environment including a disassembler and support for OpenFirmware. It is currently designed to work best with Old World ROMs including any lineage of PowerPC Macs similar to the PowerMac G3 Beige. It currently has no graphical interface and can only be run from a shell.
